Chapter 1,141 The High-Spirited Kobe and the Weird Second Generation Stars!

In the NBA free market in 2013, there was one wave of news about the free market outside, but now the Seattle SuperSonics, which has returned to the center of world sports due to the super luxury tax of 180 million, is still in the circle.

As if everything has nothing to do with them.

This is not because the Seattle SuperSonics are avoiding something. Even if the closed training is not necessary, there is no need to start so early. The main reason is that the Seattle SuperSonics does have a lot of things going on.

Ye Si has just returned, and the team really has too many things to deal with.

This is not just a matter of training with the team.

The most annoying thing is not this, but the endorsement contracts between Ye Si and local companies.

Like the Seattle SuperSonics, although Yeas retired from the NBA for three years, local companies in Seattle did not terminate their endorsement contracts with Yeas.

What a joke, Yes originally didn’t want to accept these endorsement contracts. If it was really terminated because of Ye Si’s temporary retirement, wouldn’t that just give Ye Si an excuse not to accept the endorsement contract?

Not only did these Seattle SuperSonics local companies not require Yee to shoot commercials or attend any events, they simply gave Yee money for nothing in the past three years and allowed him to travel around the world.

With Yes and Bezos working together to develop Yes Sports, and with Yes' increasing stake in Amazon, he is actually not short of money, and he doesn't need to accept these endorsements at all.

In fact, except for endorsements from local companies in Seattle, Yease has stopped accepting other NBA-related endorsements.

Not only the NBA-related endorsements are not accepted, but other endorsements are also unclear.

The only endorsement that Yes is interested in now is his sneaker endorsement with Yes Sports.

But obviously, he can't turn down these local endorsement contracts in Seattle.

This is not a question of money, this is a question of favor.

Why can the Seattle SuperSonics receive top-to-bottom support from Seattle?

Isn't it because Yeas's rise is not only in the interests of the Sonics, but also in the interests of Seattle as a whole?

Almost all of Seattle is profiting from his rise.

We are now grasshoppers tied to a rope.

Yeas can care less about the opinions of other places in the United States, but Seattle is different. Not only does he need to show his value, he also needs to let the people of Seattle see that his value is tied to them.

People who eat alone will not be welcomed anywhere.

After three years of break, there are so many relationships, favors and advertising endorsements to deal with.

This is much more difficult than running in with teammates.

Fortunately, although the companies that Ye Si cooperates with are all local companies in Seattle, do the local companies in Seattle and the local companies in Cleveland mean the same thing?

Of course it doesn't mean the same thing. The local businesses in Seattle are too big and have too many regulations, but there are not so many bullshit things for Ye Si to worry about.

After finishing these things, just now, the contract between the Seattle SuperSonics and Rondo was finally finalized.

Rondo's low-profile return and acknowledgment of his mistakes was finally forgiven by other Seattle SuperSonics players.

after all,

Ever since Rondo did such a cruel thing to Popovich, he really can't survive in the NBA.

If the Seattle SuperSonics don't want him, he will really die from this world.

Whether it is Tucker, Millsap or Milicic and other Seattle SuperSonics players, it can basically be said that they grew up together with Rondo, accepted criticism from the United States together, and endured criticism together.

Although I was very disdainful of Rondo's behavior as a 25-year-old white-eyed wolf.

But even when he hated Rondo the most, didn't he tell Ye Si about Rondo's supercilious attitude?

Similarly, Rondo was so quarrelsome with the rest of the team at that time. In the last period of time, he still endured it and continued to be squeezed and manipulated by Tucker and the others without complaining, for fear that Ye Si would see some clues. , disrupting the atmosphere of the team's third consecutive dynasty.

Whether it is Rondo or other Sonics players, they still have a sliver of affection for each other.

Even Durant, when I saw someone on the Internet despicably bringing the rhythm to Rondo after Ye Si left, didn't he cleverly bring the rhythm to James?

After so many years of growing up together and getting shot together, the relationship is still very deep.

If Rondo is really doing well outside, everyone may really have to retire before they can let go of each other's feelings.

But Rondo is in such a miserable state now. Since he has such a good attitude of admitting his mistakes and is even willing to accept a four-year, $4 million contract that is lower than the contract of the Sonics' second-round pick, they can't bear to feel that they are now desperate. Rondo shouted to fight and kill.

It's like spending $1 million a year to hire an ace masseur and luggage porter.

As for those who still have bad anger towards Rondo, there will be plenty of opportunities to vent on this "Long Fifteenth" in the future.

Yeas never intervened in the affairs between Rondo and other Sonics players from beginning to end.

He knows very well that before Rondo is forgiven by others in the Sonics, his intervention will only be counterproductive. The more he supports Rondo, the greater the resistance to Rondo from other Sonics players.

Whether Rondo stays or goes is decided by other Sonics players.

It can only be said that these Sonics players who once wanted to sweep Rondo out of the universe still can't be the most cruel to Rondo.

After all, I still loved you.

After the Seattle SuperSonics signed Rondo, compared to other Sonics players who were gearing up to kill Rondo, Nelson was actually the happiest one.

Rondo's scoring ability is indeed poor, but besides scoring, his other abilities are indeed strong.

In the Spurs, Rondo is a cancer, and no one can control him, but in the SuperSonics, Rondo dares to play cancer?

Next season he will play five small tactics in the team. This is correct, but it is impossible to play five small tactics in every game, or even in the whole game.

How did Cole and Master Romar play the fifth child?

The self-repair ability of NBA teams is too strong. There are some of the best players in the world. No tactic is invincible. If you use it too much, it will be thoroughly studied.

Including the previous blame-shifting system, run-and-gun system, etc.

Even the Warriors' five tactics, weren't they finally figured out by the Cavaliers in this year's finals?

Eggs cannot be put into one basket. How could Nelson not understand this?

The Seattle SuperSonics need a regular lineup and a regular tactical system.

The current Seattle SuperSonics did not have such a system of players before acquiring Rondo.

Milicic, Millsap, Gobert, Nick Collison, Durant, Leonard, Antetokounmpo, Danny Green, Tucker, Perry Jones, Leafs, James Harden, Reggie Jackson, Ingalls.

Fourteen players, except for Yeez and James Harden as the starters, Reggie Jackson can handle the ball as a substitute, which is too dangerous.

Reggie Jackson is not a player who can dictate the pace.

It can be said that the Seattle SuperSonics lineup needs a traditional point guard.

There is no doubt that Rondo is definitely a historical traditional point guard in addition to his scoring ability.

Maybe the Seattle SuperSonics will go smoothly next season and won't need to use Rondo or a traditional point guard in a game, but if necessary, the Seattle SuperSonics cannot do without it.

This is the value Rondo gives to the Seattle SuperSonics in Nelson's opinion.

With a 1 million contract, there is no player more suitable than Rondo to make up for this shortcoming of the Sonics.

Of course, it would be fine if Billups wanted to come, but obviously, he won't come.

To be honest, Nelson still has his own thoughts on the problems the Seattle SuperSonics will face next season.

After all, this offseason, the Warriors, Lakers, Cavaliers and SuperSonics have all exceeded the luxury tax, and the four teams are all engaged in an arms race in a sense.

And the Cavaliers, Lakers and Warriors all have good reinforcements.

The opponent is too strong, and of course he will be under pressure as the head coach.

Especially when he needs to fulfill his dream.

If the pressure is too great and the team's performance is poor, his dream will not be fulfilled.

Of course, Nelson feels that there will be huge pressure next season, which will be a big pain for Antetokounmpo and Gobert.

After Yeas finished training with other Sonics players, Antetokounmpo and Gobert, as well as Whiteside, who signed a two-way contract with the team from China, were left to accept Nelson's offer. Guide and play summer league by the way.

Yeas, on the other hand, is going to take Durant, James Harden and his beloved apprentice Leonard with him on his trip to China.

As the face of Yes Sports, Yes has not been in the NBA in the past three years, so his signature sneakers are considered out of date.

However, his fifth-generation Yes has been ready for a long time, and it has been fully distributed this time.

In order to give the fifth generation of Yes a good start, Bezos deliberately placed the launch location in China.

Moreover, all the major contracted stars of Yes Sports were in attendance.

On the special plane from the United States to the imperial capital, there were not only three Yes Sports contracted stars, Yez, Durant and James Harden, but also...

"Yes, I envy you so much!"

Kobe Bryant, NBA superstar, in the three years since Yes left, Kobe used his crazy scoring to attract countless fans around the world. After Yes left, Kobe became the face of Yes Sports.

Kobe never had a contract after leaving Adidas because of that incident. Because of his good relationship with Yes, Yes and Bezos didn't care about the black spots on him, so they signed a contract with Yes Sports.

Now it seems that this is one of Bezos's best signings. In the three years since Yes left the NBA, Kobe played a major role in Yes Sports defeating Nike in basketball.

Kobe's crazy performance in the past three years has allowed Yes Sports to continue to crush Nike.

The sneakers of Kobe, Durant, Curry, Beasley, Nick Young, James Harden, Roy, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming and Leafs are constantly being reproduced, and they are simply crushing them in China and the United States in all aspects. Nike.

Now Bezos' plan is to completely knock down Nike after Yes comes back.

After defeating Nike, Bezos is ready to enter other sports markets.

This guy's ambition is incredible.

This time, in order to promote Ye's "Yes" five generations of China tour, Kobe, Curry, Beasley, Nick Young, Roy, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, all-stars were dispatched.

In addition, some of these celebrities brought other people with them, such as several of Kobe's children. Kobe paid great attention to this trip to China and even brought his precious son.

Kobe's son Michael Bryant, Durant's eldest son Wang Mang-Durant, as well as Yao Ming's daughter, Roy's son, Curry's daughter, etc., the entire special plane was filled with the noise of children.

There are so many children, but they are much noisier than the two children in his house.

However, every time they see Durant's eldest son, the people next to Ye Si look like they want to complain.

I can't help it, this name is simply amazing. How could I give my son such a name?

Especially for Chinese people like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Lin Shuhao and Chen Jianghua, this name is not his biological father!

In fact, little Durant is now five years old and looks more and more like Rondo...

That face, those long hands, and those long legs were all carved from the same mold.

Of course, every time the adults see little Durant, they always make complaints but hesitate to speak.

But for these kids on the plane, little Durant is their boss.

This kid Bieka looks like Rondo, but his personality is not gloomy at all, and there is absolutely no gloomy temperament that is engraved in Rondo's bones.

On the contrary, his character is very much like his godfather Beasley, and his whole person seems to be a man bathed in holy light.

Therefore, it is very popular among children, and it is like a king of children.

Of course, not only children like it, but adults also like little Durant very much.

Children of this age can be so sensible and help adults control those naughty children. This saves the adults a lot of worry.

With little Durant, adults can just ignore the children and play with themselves.

Of course, when you say you are playing, you are actually just listening to Kobe bragging.

Yes is a relatively quiet person, but Kobe is not. In fact, throughout the entire plane, Kobe's laughter echoed in the air.

There is no way, the Lakers' free market this time has been too successful.

After encountering successive blows such as Howard's departure and Nash's retirement, the Lakers were able to complete reinforcements and reconstruction in just a free market, becoming the No. 1 Cosmos team in the entire league in one fell swoop. This is too strong.

It doesn't matter to Sonics players like Ye Si and Durant, but other people, even Warriors players such as Yao Ming and Curry, are quite envious.

As soon as Kobe saw Ye Si, he said he envied the Sonics for being rich, but there was no real envy on his face.

Isn’t it hard to have money but not be able to spend it?

It is better to say that I am envious than to be proud.

"Yes, let me tell you, you are too kind-hearted, and you can't play good cards well. If you didn't choose Leonard in 2010, and if you didn't choose Antetokounmpo in 2013, the Seattle Super League What a powerful team the Sonics will be, but unfortunately, your choice is so regrettable."

"Also, do you have any idea about the Sonics' bloated lineup?"

"No."

Ye Si really had no idea.

"Bryant, do you know what I hate the most in the NBA?"

Um?

Kobe, who was getting food with Ye Si, was a little curious.

"Business is business. This is the sentence I hate the most. Since I have the ability to break this sentence, why do I have to do things I don't like for the sake of purpose? I did compromise before, but now, no It’s necessary, but it’s not impossible.”

After Ye Si chose the food, he left, leaving Kobe with a surprised look on his face.

Hate business is business!

In fact, he also hates the profit reduction in everything.

But in the NBA, can anyone really succeed regardless of personal interests?

The whole world knows that it is a burden, but Yes has to carry it. The whole world knows that it is trash, but Yes has to choose it, for the sake of favor, warmth and affection.

This is indeed very respectable and heartbreaking.

but……

Thinking of the SuperSonics' current lineup and difficulties, Kobe shook his head with a wry smile.

"I absolutely do not believe that Yes can continue to ascend to the highest throne with such a heavy baggage of Sonics. It is so difficult to travel lightly, let alone carrying such a heavy baggage now?"

And Yes himself left for three years and didn’t play basketball games for three years, okay!

Where does the self-confidence come from to challenge the courage of ‘business is business’!

"Haha, I was almost fooled by this kid."

Yes's trip to China with the Yes Sports All-Stars was very successful.

Yes, Kobe, Curry, Yao Ming, Beasley, Nick Young, Roy, Yi Jianlian, Durant, James Harden...

This bunch of star players are all the NBA's most popular stars in China.

No matter it was the Imperial Capital, the Demonic Capital, or the Demonic Capital, wherever Ye Si and the others went, there were huge crowds of people, and the whole world seemed to be shaken.

However, during this trip to China, besides Ye Si, the most popular players were not Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming, but Ye Si's apprentice Curry.

When it was time to smash monsters, as the champion of the slam dunk contest, Curry got too excited and wanted to dunk. He started running from outside the three-point line to inside. As he ran, he slipped and fell to the ground.

For a time, the entire Chinese Internet was filled with videos of Curry slipping during his dunk performance.

"Why does Curry always slip when he dunks?"

It’s not fifteen, it’s second. This question asked on Weibo has even become one of the hottest topics on the Chinese Internet.

At the same time, after this incident, the sales of Curry's sneakers in China became even more popular.

It can be seen from Curry's incident that in this era, fans' love for stars is no longer the standard of looking cool and cool.

If you don’t have the talent to act handsome and cool, you can also try to develop a comedian route like Curry.

Curry is still uncomfortable with the fact that fans increasingly regard him as a comedian.

"Master, I really want to look cool, not funny!"

"But Uncle Curry is really funny."

Before Ye Sidu could answer, the eldest son Ye Dong, who was held in Curry's arms, spoke in a very shameless manner.

This time, Ye Si felt that his straight-talking eldest son was right.

His apprentice's talent for comedy is engraved in his bones.

"Uncle Curry, it doesn't matter. Dad always says he's not a scumbag."

"..."
